Welcome to the Sidney Sister Cities Association

We link people with people, community with community,
and support The Town of Sidney on the world stage.

The mission of Sister Cities International is to promote peace through mutual respect, understanding and cooperation – one individual, one community at a time.

Our Statement of Purpose is as a committee and in association with the Town of Sidney, to promote greater understanding and respect between the citizens of the Saanich Peninsula and Anacortes, USA; Cairns, Australia and Niimi, Japan (and any future sister cities) by enriching the cultural and economic resources of each city through the planning and implementation of programs that foster mutual understanding respect and good will.

Our Goals:

• A not for profit organization with bylaws filed in the Town Hall of Sidney.
